  New to #Mastodon? Just think about it as "instant public email" - like email you use the full address (including the @ domain name/instance) when contacting somebody else, you can communicate with other domains/instances from any other (bar blocklists/spamlists) and you could just have one email account/Mastodon account in the world or multiple dependent on preference (work, social, special interests etc).

  Just having to up the memory of my "borrowed from my wife" desktop Windows machine to try and do some development work and putting my old-failed machines RAM in it worked until the last stick.. The stick I kept testing my old machine with when it had failed and refused to get beyond POST... Please don't say a failed stick of RAM is the cause of over a week of stress.

  Now just to decide if the "new project" should be written in PHP using Slim (which I know), PHP using Symfony/Laravel (neither of which I know well and dislike Laravel), Node.js (which I don't know) or something else.

  GP reception: "We are calling you when you are resting to book you in for your 6 month blood test and BP readings. When are you available?" Me: "I have an appointment next week with the nurse for a blood test and to bring in my BP readings: when do you think would be good?" Them: "Oh..

  That was f'ing embarrassing. Went up and down 5 aisles in the supermarket looking for tinned fruit. Headed up one to see an employee and asked if he knew where they were "like pineapple slices" I asked and he pointed directly behind me... Have I became one of "those" people? *shudder*
